Robots in healthcare are becoming more widely used for moving supplies, dispensing medication, and conducting precise surgical operations. In addition, AI is helpful for diagnosis and interacting with patients. Prosthetics, human-machine interfaces, and assistive technology are also developing.

The U.K. manufacturing and logistics sector has joined several events focusing on how British RAS can help improve efficiency and provide competitive advantage. However, can academic-industrial partnerships overcome the U.K.'s lag in industrial automation?

A quick look at the numbers of surgeries performed annually in the US, especially who the patients are?most notably their age?is enough to hint at why investors are more than a little overjoyed with their new-found wonder stocks: Intuitive Surgical...

The MIT Enterprise Forum took up the quest to examine this new era in medical care, to provide a few answers to some of the biggest questions and to forecast a way forward during its Innovation Series Event: Robotics in...

In brief, Cyberplasm acts like an electronic nervous system with artificial ?nose,? ?eye? and other organs with mammalian cells. These cells with various detection functions can identify diseases easily. In fact, Cyberplasm imitates the very functioning of a real-world living...

Restoration Robotics? ARTAS System for robotically harvesting hair follicles easily succeeds at three key VC criteria: a unique product that's market ready in a growing market segment where quite possibly an IPO or acquisition is not far off. Other qualifiers...

The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System is the first, real-time nerve identification system specifically designed for use during robotic surgery. The system aids a surgeon in identifying otherwise invisible nerves during minimally invasive robotic pelvic surgery. ?Currently, surgeons rely on anatomic...

Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have developed a robotic device made from DNA that could potentially seek out specific cell targets within a complex mixture of cell types and deliver important molecular instructions,...

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston have successfully tested a controllable endoscopic capsule, inspired by science fiction, that has the ability to “swim” through the body and could provide clinicians with unprecedented control when photographing the inside...
